1972 cannonball race

[AlfaNeely@domain.elided]

       According to the list of Cannonball Competitors in the Appendix of 
Brock Yates new book "Cannonball,"  Richard Jenkins and Bob Rost finished the 
1972 event with a time of 38:37:00.  They supposedly drove an "Alfa-Romeo 
Guilia (sic)."
       I am not sure of the spelling of Bob Brost or Rost, but Rost is what 
appears in the appendix.  And yes, Alfa Romeo is hyphenated and Giulia is 
misspelled - nothing new here.
       There you have everything I know about it.  I have not finished the 
book, but do not expect to find glowing reports of how fast the Alfa was.

Ciao,
